Hey, just wanted to ask if this is getting SpaceDust compatibility or isn't really aiming for that?

I don't know what SpaceDust is, so at this point in time I'd have to say I'm not aiming for that.

Oh alright, SpaceDust is the mod that Nertea made for space resource destributions and for his Near Future and Far Future suite. I was just curious, thanks for the quick answer.

If Space Dust works like other resource mods I'm familiar with, then it likely distributes resources randomly if no specialized support is provided.

Perhaps @Nertea can verify for us.

Space Dust is a very different resource mod. It does not distribute resources randomly. Its configs are far more intricate than what you know with the likes of PLANETARY_RESOURCE{} which is why:

  • Random distributions can't be done;
  • I don't make configs for it. Setting up a template system like Rational Resources for it is a mountain (of work) that I've decided not to climb.

I don't know, it works fine for me.  Of course I don't have the same mods installed as you do.  Of the mods on your list, these are the one I have installed:

Spoiler

B9 Part Switch
CTTP
Distant Object Enhancement
EVE
Grannus Expansion Pack
Kopernicus
Modular Flight Integrator
Module Manager
Minor Planets Expansion Revived
Outer Planets Mod
SCAN Sat
SVE

I also have about 15 other mods installed that you don't have.  If the problem is with one of the other mods on your list, you're going to have to help me and figure out which one it is, because I'm not going to go and install all those just to test it.  But to be honest, I don't know why any of those other mods would have any affect on clouds.

To be honest, I don't know. It was fine until I installed this mod.

I can't fix a problem I can't reproduce.  Your best bet is to strip your installation down to just the following and see if it works.

  • Squad
  • SquadExpansion (if applicable)
  • EnvironmentalVisualEnhancements
  • GEP
  • Kopernicus
  • ModularFlightIntegrator
  • ModuleManager
  • SVE

If it doesn't work, then there may be a installation error of some sort, because it works fine for me.  If it does work, then start reinstalling mods until it no longer works, and then tell me which mod broke it.

I also realized a problem with the sunflare on GEP_Primary... GEP looks like it tries to edit the stock sunflare when using Primary rather than replace it, and so while the old syntax is supported GEP itself is trying to edit a file with the new syntax as if it has the old one and so only scatterers stock sunflare loads for Sun when Primary is installed.

Scatterer version is still the former 0.0772 here

I fixed it with a patch but I think it would be a good idea pointing that out.

One day I will finally reach the Grannus SOI. I've finally got a toaster that can crunch GPP + GEP and I've never been so excited. Thank you for all that you do!

I've never actually traveled to Grannus when installed as a secondary system.  I just never got that far when playing GPP+GEP.  The only times I've explored the Grannus system was with it installed as primary.  I think it's a pretty fun system to play that way - different than most other things I've played.

Thank you for fixing the SOI issue at Belisama! It was the one thing that always bugged me about an otherwise perfectly made system.

I noticed that GEP_Rescale still doesn't include patches to scale up Nodens' SOI like it does for Grannus (the other body with a manually overridden SOI value). Is this intentional?

I actually just patched Grannus mean anomaly at epoch yesterday and it's installed rescaled at 2.5x as secondary in JNSQ, I also increased its eccentricity and semimajor axis by a lot... now it's way out and moving away, and it'll take like 1000+ years to travel there using chemical rockets lol. Hopefully this will give some incentive to using Blueshift soon. Fingers crossed.

Well, crap!  You're right, I missed that.  I guess another quick update is needed.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
